Here is a new article about the Re-Uses of the Little Europe Set.
This Universal Studios set appeared in VOY: "The Killing Game" as
Sainte Claire and in "Fair Haven" and "Spirit Folk" as Fair
Haven. Jörg has identified the portions of Little Europe that are visible and
compares them with maps and photos of the set.

See a new big article about Space Art in Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Jörg has compiled an illustrated list of all space-related paintings in TNG.
With the support of Rick Sternbach, Dave Archer and Mike Okuda we could find out what exactly is
depicted on most of them and what they were originally created for (sometimes for covers
of sci-fi magazines and books).

30.10.11
Jörg has worked out a new article on Newspaper Pages in Star Trek.
More precisely, the article identifies pieces of generic filler text, their true
origins (among which one is quite a surprise) and their reappearances throughout
30 years.

12.10.11
"Conspiracy" and "The Neutral Zone" conclude my TNG Reviews
of the first season.

09.10.11
The server move was a good time to do some housekeeping and to tend to my long
open items list. I have updated more than a dozen articles in the Investigations
and the
Starship Articles sections with visitor suggestions, and
replaced most photos of the TOS Main Characters
with better ones.

02.10.11
Two more TNG Reviews: "Symbiosis" and "We'll
Always Have Paris".

30.09.11
If you can read this, the DNS transfer to the new IP has taken effect. Further notes.

23.09.11
The reason for the lack of updates in the past couple of weeks is that I am
preparing the site for a move to a new server. Tony, my server admin, and I have
worked out most bugs by now, and we intend to make the transition almost
unnoticeable to the visitors. We'll decide on short notice when to switch the
DNS to the new server.

15.09.11
The next two TNG Reviews: "The Arsenal of
Freedom" and "Skin of Evil".

08.09.11
Happy 45th Birthday, Star Trek! The very first episode, "The Man
Trap", went on air on September 8th, 1966.

06.09.11
Two more TNG Reviews: Here are "Coming of
Age" and "Heart of Glory".

27.08.11
The update of the Starfleet
Museum is now complete (sooner than expected because I
found some extra time). See the enhanced deck layouts by the indefatigable Allen
Rolfes in well over 100 images.

26.08.11
The next two TNG Reviews: "Home Soil"
and "When the Bough Breaks".

24.08.11
Allen Rolfes has improved his deck layouts for the Starfleet
Museum. Replacing them will still take a couple of weeks. Please follow the
signs to see what is new so far.

New Poll: Pick your favorite Enterprise episode if it is among the listed.

10.05.11
Two more reviews of DS9 season 3: "Explorers" and
"Family Business".

07.05.11
Masao Okazaki and Dan Carlson have reworked the content of the Romulan War
section in the Starfleet
Museum. Many articles have been extended or updated, and
some depictions improved.

03.05.11
I have added dozens of screen captures to some so far meagerly illustrated
articles in the Investigations
section. Thanks to TrekCore!

23.04.11
The new episode "Enemy: Starfleet" of Star Trek Phase II (New Voyages)
has just been released. Here is my review.

22.04.11
It was about time for a complete manual check of all Links,
considering that even the best automated tool finds only half of the disguised
404 pages or domain placeholders. One site even turned out to have been hacked.

20.04.11
A display from the Enterprise-D
shuttlebay lists no less than 22 shuttles
by name, most of which were previously unknown. Thanks to Jörg who pointed me
to the auction catalogue.

Message to Firefox 4 users: A new CSS specification to prevent
"attacks" based on your browser history disables the change of the
color of the little arrows next to external links after visiting: Link.
I hate how it looks on EAS when the arrows refuse to switch to the same color as the
link text (especially on pages where they remain yellow) but I can do
nothing against it. I will have to abandon the tags for external links, develop a new color scheme or
put up with the awful color disparity. Read the complete commentary on EAS
Today.

11.02.11
I will update the JoAT tomorrow. Find the
feedback on the submissions at the SCN.

08.02.11 Gene Roddenberry's original pitch for Star Trek
has "resurfaced", at least if we believe the blogger who recently posted the PDF file. The very same file
was available at EAS all the time since 2006.
(I rescued the pitch from trek5.com when the site went down.) I don't claim ownership of a file that I
only re-composed and I don't mind people taking it from EAS, even if they neglect to give me proper credit. But the old news got
reposted in several hundred(!) blogs and on all the big Trek news sites. In light of the fact that something
from an obscure blog is hyped in the blogosphere as well as in fan circles, rather than
the same content on a major Trek site, I somehow feel let down.

07.02.11
New in the Galleries: several of the great
illustrations by Doug Drexler for the Star Trek Encyclopedia II, such as
of Vulcan costumes. Please follow the
signs.

30.01.11
I have incorporated new findings on a couple of pages in the Investigations
section, such as Re-Used Props - Decoration.
Thank you to Michael, Jörg and Jan!

29.01.11
The episode guest reviews have been continually updated. Today I would like to
express my special thanks to Chris S, whose many contributions are unusually
critical but also quite insightful. Read his recent rant on VOY:
"Endgame" (all the way down the page).

27.01.11
Two more DS9 season 3 episodes reviewed: "Defiant" and "Fascination".

23.01.11
New Poll: Pick your favorite DS9 episode if it is among the listed.

19.01.11
The next two reviews of DS9 season 3: "Civil
Defense" and "Meridian".

Reviews of two more DS9 season 3 episodes: "Second
Skin" and "The Abandoned".

The EAE Award January 2011 goes to Vulcanology,
one of the best new blogs.
